You have a right to believe the girl was a whore and woke up one morning and decided to ruin a bunch of guys lives. Recall it wasn't just Tanyi that was kicked of off of the team. There were at least 4 maybe 5 guys. I have a right to believe something not right happened. What is the difference in veiled accusations against the victim and my straightforward stating what I believe? Do you know what happened? Do I? We are all just shooting our mouths off about something that in reality all we know is what one side or the other has said. I have two college aged girls so I choose to be more sympathetic to the victims. You have your reasons as well. I was intentionally inflammatory because I feel strongly about this. Not just the Tanyi situation the whole idea that a girl has to worry about some predator waiting until the moment when they make a mistake and drink too much around people they don't know well enough and someone takes advantage of that situation. I got drunk and passed out lots of times and woke up in places with people I half knew. The difference being a male is that I did not have to worry about someone trying to stick something in me while I was passed out. Gozo is wrong. For sexual assault that occurs on college campuses the system is heavily tilted in favor of males when alcohol is involved which it almost always is. That is why victims are being advised across the nation to use the code of conduct system on campuses rather than the legal system.appgrad wrote:Completely uncalled for.

Go back to Shelby. There's a street over there behind the hospital where you will fit in just fine.
This, to me, is unsurprising behavior from college students...and doesn't make anyone a thug. It certainly isn't anything someone should be kicked off a team for, nor have your name dragged through the mud by administrators, message board denizens, and other students.
Like I said - I hope he wins.
As an aside NPR did a piece on this subject just last night so I was loaded up when I posted the Tanyi Shelby tripe. Also I was in the car with three females listening to the story and to my surprise they largely disagreed with me. Told me I was giving them a get of jail free card and that it is a fact of life that they accept that they must be more careful than guys. So there you go, maybe I am wrong again. I am giving this a hard think.
If I remember correctly the panel of fact-finders were a mix of students and professors, none of whom were properly instructed to even remotely comply with standard operations in our State or Federal Courts.
